VALLEY FORGE HIKE Saturday, June 22, 2019

Baloo HikingJoin us for fresh air and exercise and a touch of history – oh and did we mention DINOSAUR FOSSILS!! That’s right! Valley Forge has amazing trails and beautiful views, historic significance, and more. Like dinosaur fossils!!! Now, it’s no secret, but it’s purposely not advertised where they are, so consider this fun outing like a scavenger hunt for young explorers! What kid doesn’t LOVE exploring!
We MEET AT 10:30 AM at the visitors center and BEGIN THE HIKE PROMPTLY at 11:00. We will hike a few miles, stopping for a lunch break. Here are some essentials you should bring: Lunch and snack and plenty of water. Sunscreen, sunglasses/hat, bug spray. We hope we never need it, but a little first aid kit and rain poncho is always smart, perhaps a walking stick, and some money as there are opportunities for food and gift purchases. \
If you can let us know ahead of time if you plan to attend, great, but please know you are welcome to just show up if you decide that day. Hope to see you there!! Leaders present will be Dan Griess, Regina Giuffre and Kristine Darmohray.

Saying Hello!

Scout families,
Can you believe it’s been about a week since the Blue and Gold ceremony? As we still recover from the fun of the day I wanted to say hello. For those who missed the news, my name is Ms. Regina and I will be your Cubmaster for the upcoming scout year. I am excited about the fun that we will have together. IF you have an idea you wish to see done please let me know. Any questions or concerns, again, let me know. Ms. Kristine is Assistant Cubmaster. Together we will be having fun with our scouts as we go through the year.
A owe a huge thank you to Mr. Dan for his time as Cubmaster. Mr. Dan planned a fun year. Under his guidance we were successful in the Scouting for Food. We also had fun trips such as the aquarium, a sleep over at Franklin Institute and a fun filled camping trip when we made S’mores in the rain. . As he steps down as Cubmaster we are grateful that he will still be with us as den leader for our Webelos. Thank you Mr. Dan for everything you have done for us!
Ms. Regina

BLue and Gold Thank You

Thank you for coming yesterday to our end of year Blue and Gold. The skits that our scouts presented such as “No stick skillet”, “Bear Attack” and “Man Eating Chicken” along with Mr, Dan’s dad jokes had us laughing. Our scouts enjoyed watching each others’ skits along with having fun with the beach theme. Beach ball volleyball being played to having pictures taken with our picture area were filled with smiles. We heard the stories of favorite activities for the year and also the excitement for our new year to start in September. Our scouts were proud to receive their rank that they worked so hard for. We said “See you later” to our AOLs as they “changed” into Scouts. We wish them lots of fun, luck and adventures as they begin their next part of the journey towards Eagle Scout. Thank you to everyone who helped with set up, cooking, breaking down and helping through the year. Without your support we would not be as successful as we are as a pack! Keep posted for information about summer activities!
